AP Government firm on 3 capitals: Governor Bishwabhushan
Says Secretariat will shift to Vizag soon
Amaravati: Governor Bishwabhushan Harichandan in his joint video address to the AP Legislative Assembly and Council here on Tuesday said the Andhra Pradesh government was firm on its decision to decentralise governance and equal development in the state as proposed earlier.
He reiterated that Visakhapatnam would be the executive capital of the state soon and hence the Secretariat would get shifted to the Port City. As for Kurnool, it would be the Judicial Capital with the High Court functioning from there.
The Governor made it clear that the proposal of setting up of the three capitals in the state was in the legislative process.
The AP Cabinet had already approved the Decentralisation and Equal Development of All Regions Bill, 2020. The State Legislature also approved the amendment bill.
Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had proposed the three capitals proposal with an aim to decentralize the administration, in view of the past experiences, and this proposal would benefit the people of the state by not limiting the development and growth to a single region.
